VWH2228 overtakes VWH2230 at Station Parade as it heads to Harrow Weald operating route 140 while VWH2230 heads to Harrow on express route X140.
Usually it's the express overtaking but a light 140 with just the one passenger makes its move!
So Vinyl is making a big comeback .....I was chatting to this guy and telling him when I switched from vinyl to CDS you couldn't give your albums away. Wish I had them now looking at some of those prices
CN 7229 & CN 4700 do some switching in the Pointe St-Charles Yard six years ago today. The dwarf signals at right are on the connecting tracks of the Montreal Sub. Surprisingly they have still not been replaced at present.
A GP9-slug-GP9 trio (CN 7038, CN 221 & CN 7250) is busy moving cars on a siding off of the Côte De Liesse spur. This line is usually switched at night, so it was nice to run into this movement which always runs as an extra.

Went for a walk when waiting for a friend's train. For the middle of August, the leaves looked like autumn.
Late night passengers on the platform at lonely Minersville, PA watch with interest as the crew of a Central Railroad of New Jersey Switcher go about their business of shifting cars around for the next day's operations.
This image was captured during an October 2023 night photo shoot organized by Railroad Restoration Project 113, which featured the 1923-vintage Central Railroad of New Jersey 0-6-0 Switcher, # 113 under steam. Strobe lighting was provided by Steve Barry Photography.
Maine Northern Railway Train 900-14 makes some switching moves at Skerry Siding on the Madawaska Subdivision.
Out of view behind the train is a massive sawmill owned by Maine Northern's parent company J.D. Irving. The mill makes up a large portion of MNR's traffic, shipping logs to Woodland, lumber, and chips for Irving's papermills in Saint John. Having just spotted a cut of empty chip cars, an army of front end loaders has already started the process of loading the empties. Roughly 50 chip cars, around 20 log cars, and 9 center beams can be loaded at a time. Depending on demand, the mill can be switched on both the north bound and southbound leg of 900's journey.
The empty log cars on the head end are destined for the yard at Fort Kent, where they will be loaded by the TNT Road Company which harvests for Irving Woodlands. Others will go to Irving's Grande-Riviere sawmill in Saint-Leonard, NB to be loaded there.

The Grafton & Upton local pulls west on the Keolis Milford Running Track to clear the G&U switch and enter home rails at Milford, MA. In addition to empties from Bluelinx & Garelick Farms, they also had MBTA F40PH-3C #1074 in their consist, destined for some repair work at the G&U enginehouse.
The 1074 had been delivered to the Bluelinx siding for pickup by the G&U by the Keolis power wash job, which had run out the Franklin Branch from Readville earlier.
A few.weeks previously, an extra had delivered F40PH-3C #1057 to the G&U for similar work via the B&A at N. Grafton.
The G&U had taken over servicing those consignees from CSX in the recent past. The CSX era typically saw GP40-2s here. In the Conrail years, 9500s (SW1500s) would occasionally break up the steady diet of B23-7s and GP15-1s here.

North Western geep 4206 takes a break from switching the quarry west of Downtown Elmhurst on a nice evening in August 1986.
Burlington Northern #240 is seen at Cicero yard switching intermodal cars on June 15th, 1987. I never was a big fan of the BN and didn't live close to it at all but my dad and I did wander around Chicago a lot so I did hit some spots.
BN SW1200 #240 was built by EMD as CB&Q #9282 in July of 1965. Loco may still be around dressed as BNSF 3509.
A Lehigh Valley Rail Management crew brings a long cut of double stack cars into the River Yard for interchange to NS.
The train is led by a trio of EMD switchers:
LVRM 19 MP15DC (ex-CI/SB/PBNE 19)
LTEX 1517 SW1500 (ex-PC/CR 9556)
LVRM 1146 MP15DC (ex-CSXT 1146, LN 5036)
The siding switch at WSS Levy is lit up by the sun as we wait the arrival of Amtrak #4 the Southwest Chief.
CPKC G95 with CMQ 3817 & CP 4509 for power is lifting a car from Total Fuel, one of two clients on the Lasalle Loop Spur. In the background are cars for the other client (Flesichmanns Yeast).

Two former BN units still wearing green, a SD60M and a GP39E, do their switching in Joliet, IL with the L-CHI102.
A well aged CN geep switches the American Chemical Service plant in Griffith, Indiana. This is on all former C&O of Indiana rails. The "J" took over this business once Chessie pulled out. ACS getting a switch seems to be a rarity these days. So, while out on a morning bike ride, I was more than happy to her them banging cars around over here. I headed right over. Shot with a Pentax 67 on Fuji Velvia 100F. All this...located right off of the Oak Savannah bike trail, for your foaming pleasure.
One of the last DB Köfs in freight service can be found in Schorndorf, Germany. They use this little guy to switch cars loaded with appliances in and out of the Bauknecht warehouse because the curve radius is too tight for any three or four axle engine. Here the Köf takes three empties from the warehouse down the spur toward the yard.
Great Lakes Central does not normally run on the weekends, but an extra OSTN was called on this Sunday to pick up a large cut of cars from the CSX interchange at Ann Pere in Howell. Now back in Owosso, the crew switches out the train, blocking it out for the next day's northbound. Leading the train is GLC's newest repaint, SD40-2 #382, followed by veteran GP35 #390 and GP38-2 #396.

Since PR-2 is now an as-needed job called off the extra board, the task of delivering cars to Woonsocket for Ralco Industries now falls to WX-1 from Worcester, which makes for some nice daylight shooting on what is theoretically a nighttime railroad.
Here, WX-1 drops off a couple loads, and retrieves the empties they had delivered two days before. The tractor-trailer in the background will retrieve the plastic pellets the cars are loaded with, and deliver them up the street (literally) to Ralco. The two gons are loads for Riverdale Mills, and will get dropped there on the way back to Worcester.

Maine Switching Services hauls CSX Sappi-4 up the steep grade into the Sappi mill complex on 6/16/2024.
LTEX GP9u 1585 was added at the mill crossing, since extra power was required to make the hill. The track splitting off from the mill lead runs to a small 7 track yard, the slurry tracks, as well as two spurs into the warehouse. The is another yard to the north of the mill as well as some storage tracks in the former log yard.

I love this collage. I passed by it in a car for years and never realized how achingly beautiful it is until I walked by it on a quiet Sunday and stood and really looked at it. Made of thousands of old telephone switching parts it was created in 1961 by Anthony Heinsbergen and is located at 420 S. Grand on what is now the AT&T building.
Fully Charged Live! returned to the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre at the end of April 2022. Although no buses were on display at the show, the park & ride services provided a real mix of vehicles to enjoy including brand new electric Yutongs for Newport Bus, rare Higer Steeds from Big Lemon, and a number of local independent operators pooling together to provide a link to the main car park in Rushmoor Arena.
